I live in central Florida and have several azaleas that seem to be dying. They are about 5 years old and have been fertilized with 6-6-6 about twice a year. I have trimmed them back every 6 months. Now they have real small leaves aand apear to be dying. My neighbor says they probably have a root desease and nothing can be done to save them. Is this true and if not what should I do?
